The Ration Ticket

Excerpt from the diary of Jules Flegmon.

11 June. --
Drama at the Roquentons'. I only found out about it this afternoon. Last May 15, Lucette had her pretty boy with the blond hair over at her place, and at midnight, they sank into nothingness. When they returned to life, they came back to their bodies in the bed where they had fallen asleep, but they were no longer alone because Roquenton resuscitated in between the two of them. Lucette and the dandy pretended not to know each other, but Roquenton finds that very hard to believe.
